Alex Marque💙z suggests radio communication in MotoGP will come into effect from next season, having carried out testing of device on Monday at Aragon.

The MotoGP♔ field has remained at the Aragon track on Monday for a day of testing following the grand prix.

Some riders have been testing the latest evolution of radio communications, which MotoGP has been developing over the last few years.

Th🍃e current system is a 𒆙bone conduction headset that transmits race control messages to the riders while they are on their bikes.

Gresini Ducati’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez tested it for the firstﷺ time on Monday Aragon and suggests it will be “mandatory” for all riders to race with it in 2026.

“It’s the first time I tried it,” Alex Marquez expl🐷ained.

“So, I already put it on the good place at 𒁃Silverstone 🧔in the box. But here I tried it on the track.

“It’s not 𝔍a real radio, because they put a voice and it’s alwayꦆs there. It’s not like somebody from the box is speaking to you.

“But it was important to try it, it’s not easy to underജstand in many points what they are saying, but it was the best thing to try because next year it looks like it 𓂃will be mandatory for safety.

“I was♋ hoping to try it, I did one run and it wa꧂s good.”

The initial idea for the radio system is for it to be used by race direction to issue messages to riders, similar to the virtual 💃race control system the World Enduran♉ce Championship currently operates for its drivers.

A spokesperson for MotoGP 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:told mahbx.com last year at the post-Barc🅰elona test that the current proposal was for riders to race with the system when it was ready voluntarily.

If the system is to become mandatory from 2026, this test at Aragon sugges🐼ts a version could well be raced by someone at some stage this season.

Alex Marquez says the version he tested was hard to listen to when he was full throttle on the straights, which is the poin𝕴t where a radio communication would be the least disruptive, while after a while his mind blocked it out.

“We need to understand, because in the beginning I was listening to the message, but later on 🐈I tried to push on that run and when I was doing 1m46s I couldn’t hear because you are really focused,” he explained.

“But it’s true it’s like a radio that is there. It’s true 🦹that maybe if they send you one message, you will listen, but when it’s always there you [stop listeni🌳ng].

“It was not a bad thing, but just on the straight💖s, the places you go full [gas], it’s quite difficult to understand what they are saying.”

Aprilia’s Lorenzo Savadori also spoke about the system, having tried it on Monday at Aragon, as well as in various private tests thisꦑ year, and revealed another teething problem with it.

“It [the ear💫piece] touches the bone, but compared to last year or the year before, it was much smaller the paℱd,” he said.

“Now it’s bigger and better. Sܫo, the problem is not comfort. The problem is, because it’s not simpl♍e when you are on a straight, at high speed, the helmet moves a bit.

“So, it’s simple, maybe you don’t hear because the pad is maybe a🃏 bit up and a bit down.💞”

However, Savadori felt that “the feeling improves every time” he has triedꦅ a new version of the system🅷, while also noting that riders will ultimately adapt to having radios connected and disconnected when getting on and off their bikes.

While the initial rollout for the radio system will be for safety reasons, the endgame seems to be  s⛎hip-to-shore communication in MotoGP akin to Formula 1 to enhance the live broadcast.

Dorna has already flirted with this on its live cover♌age at points over the past year by broadcasting in-garage communication from engineers.
